29:22 You cannot prevent it, neither in the earth nor in the heavens. You have no Owner and Helper except Allah.
29:23 Those who disbelieve in the signs and miracles of Allah and the meeting with Him are those who despair of My Mercy. They deserve a painful punishment.
29:24 "The response of his people was nothing but their saying, "Kill him or burn him". But Allah saved him from the Fire. There are lessons in this for a people who believe."

29:28 "We also sent Lot, and he said to his people: "You are committing a sin that no one before you has ever committed."
29:29 "You are having sexual intercourse with men, cutting the roads and committing every evil in your gatherings."The only response of his people was to say, "Bring the punishment of Allah if you are of the truthful."
29:30 "He said, "My Lord, give me victory over this corrupt people."

29:33 "When our messengers reached Lot, he became ill because of the treatment meted out to our messengers. They said to him, "Do not fear, do not grieve. We will save you and your family. Except your wife; she has been one of those left behind."

29:36 "And to Median We sent their brother Shu´ayb. He said: "My people, serve Allah and seek the Last Day and do not make mischief in the earth."
29:37 They denied him, so an earthquake seized them and they fell on their knees in their houses.
29:38 Likewise Ad and Thamud. Their fate is evident to you from the places where they dwelt. Satan led them astray by making their deeds appear to them as adornment. Yet they were capable of seeing and understanding.
29:39 And Karun, Pharaoh and Haman. Moses had gone to them with clear proofs, but they were arrogant in the earth. They could not escape.
